Abstract

Abstract : For the first time, two types of highly anisotropic, highly transparent wood composites are demonstrated by taking advantage of the macro‐structures in original wood. These wood composites are highly transparent with a total transmittance up to 90% but exhibit dramatically different optical and mechanical properties.
